Umbreon is the most popular Pokémon.

I’m not even stating my bias because it’s one of my favorites, there is now quantifiable evidence that Umbreon is on average the most popular Pokémon.

The usual suspects like Charizard, Pikachu, or Greninja didn’t make top 10. They didn’t even make top 20. And this is from two different datasets with different polling methods.

I’ve been reblogging these Pokémon polls from one of my friends but I should really be giving you all a more interesting means of rating Pokémon.

Introducing

Rate Pokémon designs

ratepkmn.com or Rate Pokémon Designs by Umbreon Libris.

The goal is to get an idea of what people think of different aspects of Pokémon designs.

It’s simple, it randomly pulls a Pokémon you haven’t voted on yet and you use sliders to rate how you feel about certain design aspects on a 5-point scale. These sliders are

Simple - Complex

Cartoony - Realistic

Biological - Artificial

Normal - Fantastical

Not humanoid - Very humanoid

Not cute - Very cute

Not cool - Very cool

Ugly - Pretty

I dislike it - I like it

There are graphs available that you can use to see where Pokémon rank in different design aspects and you can even compare these aspects to stuff like type, ability, base stat, nature, and more!

The best part is that anyone can use the data. I downloaded it and have been using it to analyze design trends over time.

It’s a really cool website and the more data the better! You don’t have to rank every single Pokémon, but it’s a fun thing to do in your spare time that’ll really help out the project a lot!
